'Rick combines his seemingly endless knowledge of all kinds of film, from the most obscure to the most mainstream, with his signature artistic style. You've never seen anything like this before. This is a great book.'- Creature Corner

'There are comic artists, there are movie critics, and then there's Rick Trembles, who's had the genius idea of combining the two to form his own personal dark art. Trembles' strips are a joy to read and invariably more interesting than the movies that inspired them.'- The Guardian
